People Matter…because achieving ‘breakthrough’ OEE cannot happen without employees that are equipped and engaged.

More than half of all manufacturing performance, measured as OEE, is directly in the hands of people. Therefore, it is as vital for your employees to understand how they impact the organization’s productivity, as it is for your organization to provide each employee with targeted, Performance-Based training.

By acting as your virtual training department, we can quickly identify the gap between what your people need to know versus what they currently know.

Our clients trust in this information as we work with them to establish their manufacturing plans and targets. And we couple it with the industry-experience, insight and skills of the very best instructional designers, manufacturing trainers, technical writers, and engineers to design, develop, and facilitate a focused and innovative knowledge transfer program that meets your current and future manufacturing needs.

With our help, our clients have:

• Made vertical startup a reality
• Exceeded operational efficiencies
• Set new operational targets and goals
• Transformed “tribal knowledge” into repeatable manufacturing training programs

"We were able to use this CBLO to bring new operators up to speed aon the overview of the system very quickly.  It helped us reduce the overall time of classroom training by about 1/3!"

"...not only did this help the operators become more knowledgeable, it helped get them invovled in learning about the system.  We enjoyed listening to the arguments about whether the information on the CBLO was correct, or the maintenance team was correct.  Turned out, the CBLO was correct."
